Yes, you are right-true capitalism is good Catholicism.
Sometimes I think, why so many people, especially more elder, and young truth-seekers in some Ex-Soviet Union countries hate Capitalistic system, its just because of Gangster Capitalism which took place and continues n some Ex-Soviet countries.
This type of capitalism gradually mutates more or less in civilized one but still it is so dirty in many features. That is why there is a revival of left-wing intellectuals in Russia, who have nostalgy about soviet past and insist on Soviet Communism superiority.
I am lucky I understand Russian, I have the privilege to listen these intellectuals, but I do not believe them.
Because, they have some beautiful theories but Russkiy man will never bring it on practical level.
It’s just a hidden nostalgy for power, territorial expansionalism and Russian shovinism and nothing more.

This is also quite interesting, but this is debatable of course.

Health care is not a business, but a service to life, pope says

Pope Francis said, any public policy or private initiative regarding health care that does not make the dignity of the human person its central concern “engenders attitudes that can even lead to exploitation of the misfortune of others. And this is very serious.”

19 out of 20 government employees are corrupt? 🤔

As Phil3 said, I am thinking that 95% of elected and appointed officials are corrupted by the power given to them by their office mainly from lobbying and gamesmanship.

This does not apply to government employees who just attempt to do their jobs.

Even as a child, our church had their nun as the director of religious education. Also the cost of property was a lot less, inflation adjusted. Needless to say, CCD was a lot less expensive.

Churches need to pay overhead; sometimes they are lucky and can have a majority of volunteers. Other times, they must rely on paid staff to fill the churches needs.
